4. Secret societies in government, business and religion: From the
earliest times of recorded history, we find that secret societies are a
natural and integral part of human civilization. What we mean by a
"secret society" is one whose meetings are not open to the general
public, and whose written documents are kept confidential to some
extent. Secret societies are often organized hierarchically, with
ultimate decision-making power vested in a single individual. Outside
of a secretive core group, a secret society may have a much larger
hierarchical structure which operates very openly and which produces
abundant documentation of its broader operations. Our hypothesis is
that these secret societies can operate as a mechanism for filtering and
selecting psychopathic individuals to carry out the conspiratorial goals
of a society and its leadership.
Many modern governments have an intelligence service which operates as a
"secret society" whose covert operations are hidden from the public, and
which produces a great torrent of highly classified (and unclassified)
documentation. Examples would include the American CIA, the Israeli
Mossad, the KGB of the former Soviet Union, the British MI-6, and so
forth.
Similarly, nearly all corporations are organized as secret societies,
with operative decision-making vested in a hierarchical management group
(CEO, vice-presidents, corporate secretaries etc.) and boards of
directors, who design business strategies in confidential meetings whose
results are zealously guarded as trade secrets. (However, since the
1929 fiasco the SEC and public investors have required some disclosure
of financial results. These disclosure requirements have now been
effectively voided for the most part, as shown by the Enron affair.)
Possibly the most prototypical examples of secret societies are known as
the "mystery religions" or "occult societies". These are religions
which attempt (with varying degrees of success) to make secrets out of
their central doctrines as well as their procedures and meetings.
Examples include the Freemasons (and derivative organizations such as
the Illuminati, Skull and Bones, Thule Society, Rosicrucians and so
forth), the medieval Knights Templar, the Roman Catholic Jesuits and
Opus Dei, the Assassins and some other sects of Ismaili (Aga Khan)
Muslims, the Essenes and other Hebrew mystery cults, and ancient Roman
Mithraism. The names of the deities of any particular occult society
may vary from time to time and place to place, the underlying motifs and
archetypes are generally similar, and closely related to the pantheistic
astral and tribal paganism of ancient Mesopotamia. This is the worship
of Mithra (the Sun), Sin (the Moon) and Lucifer (Venus), along with
Ahura Mazda or Yahweh (the Great Architect of the Universe?) and Moloch
and Baal, the tribal consorts of the astral gods. Modern apologists for
Freemasons and other occult secret societies argue that these ancient
pagan gods are correctly interpreted today as benevolent and altruistic
symbols. However, in ancient history these same gods were portrayed as
jealous and angry gods, actually psychopathic gods, who would lie and
kill without remorse in the pursuit of ultimate and eternal power, and
who demanded the aroma of human sacrifice. In their choice to preserve
and venerate the memory of the psychopathic gods of ancient Mesopotamia,
are modern psychopathic elites also revealing something about
themselves?
Most modern human beings are convinced that these pagan gods passed into
the dustbin of history two millenia ago, but we suspect that this may
not be the case. Repeatedly throughout history, the elites of the Great
World Empire have been attracted to religious secret societies such as
these, which maintain a high regard for the ancient pagans. We submit
that this is no coincidence.
In modern times we are also seeing a proliferation of elite secret
societies which operate at an international level, such as the World
Bank and IMF and associated world economic meetings, and the Bilderberg
society. Similar organizations such as the Council on Foreign Relations
(CFR) and Trilateral Commission seem to operate on an open level,
although it is difficult to know whether they might have a secretive
core level. These international (globalist) secret societies have an
extraordinary and quite well-documented ability to attract wealthy and
powerful individuals to form their core membership, just as the
religious secret societies also attract these same individuals.
Furthermore, their memberships are often interlocking, such as in
corporate boards. As noted in Janis Irving's 1972 book "Victims of
Groupthink", any committee or group (even one composed entirely of
non-psychopathic individuals) can fall prey to various faulty decision
making processes. However, it should be clear that if a substantial
portion of any secret society is made up of psychopathic individuals,
the decision-making processes will be further compromised to say the
least. Also just as clearly, such an organization is a good place to
organize a conspiracy -- that is, an illegal or wrongful scheme
perpetrated by two or more persons acting in concert.
Any assessment of the power of the psychopathic tendency, in powerful
individuals, dynasties, and secret societies, is basically a matter of
historical judgment over a broad sweep of time and across many events.
Conspiracists have often been accused of "mining" the historical record
for odd factoids and tidbits that support some skewed and paranoid
interpretation, and we do not wish to contribute to that syndrome. Our
goal is to take a patient and systematic overview of the broad sweep of
history, and show that it is overwhelmingly consistent with our view.
While we note that many mainstream observers are skeptical, we also
observe that many who actually take the time and effort to evaluate the
literature on secret societies tend to eventually fall overboard into
the opposite conclusion. Time and time again we see concerns that one
or another of the secret societies is becoming so powerful that it is
nearly omnipotent and eminently capable of conquering the world. The
John Birch Society fears a Communist conspiracy, Hitler's Germans
feared a secret conspiracy of Jewish bankers, and so forth. For the
most part, advocates of these theories are rightly seen as crack-pots.
Most anyone can see that the Socialists are opposed by the Capitalists,
the Jews are opposed by the Moslems, and nobody seems to have any
imminent potential of winning the whole ball of wax. However, with the
understanding that all of these facets are inter-related at some point
by their relationship to the New World Order, we realize that we simply
do not have the data to resolve the questions about exactly what power
is held by each of the secret societies. In fact, the proliferation of
secret societies is probably largely innocent, and has the effect of
creating a sort of "shell game" as conspiracy theorists try to guess and
argue over which of the secret societies is most important and
responsible for the world's problems.
Factors preventing the psychopathic conquest of the world. We presume
that total world domination is the long-term goal of the Great World
Empire, whether or not they have mapped out and designed their means to
achieve such a goal. To understand this, consider the problems it would
solve for them. All the taxes (tribute) from all over the world would
go to a single center. A single world army would only need to be big
enough to put down any challenges that somehow arose from below, and
escaped the attentions of worldwide surveillance. A plutocratic class
(and who knows how big or small it might be) could have as many slaves
and servants as they needed, and any surplus population could simply be
killed, leaving vast, beautiful, empty estates for the chosen few.
Assuming the worst possible scenario -- that this is actually the
articulated and self-comprehended plan of the elite classes within their
secret societies -- we must consider all the problems they face in their
attempts to reach this goal.
One class of problems is structural within the elite psychopathic class.
At every new generation, some of the children of any wealthy family will
grow up without any psychopathic tendencies, yet they inherit great
wealth anyhow. Sometimes the scions of the wealthy might merely pretend
to be psychopaths in order to rise to a high station, then hope to use
their power to good ends later in life. Also, it must occur from time
to time that a ruler of a nation (being truly psychopathic) might rebel
against the Secret Order and seek to aggrandize themselves at other
society members' expense. Remember, they're psychopaths, which means
they only work together to the extent that it benefits themselves. The
elites exist within a world that has always been fragmented into
various races, and divided by languages and cultures. These divisions
naturally induce suspicion, and can be exploited by rebellious
psychopathic members of the secret societies -- in order to create an
independent power base, and then extend their direct share of power.
Meanwhile, all other psychopathic rulers (as well as uncorrupted ones,
if they exist) must prepare to defend against incursions.
The elite also faces continual challenges from the people they rule
over. It's impossible for the elite to monopolize all the wealth in a
society. The first problem is that destitute slaves do not make
effective or enthusiastic warriors -- a nation of angry or hopeless
paupers is easily conquered. Also, in order to promote a work ethic,
there need to be some rewards for effort -- otherwise all the subjects
will do the minimum necessary to avoid being whipped. The Laffer curve
illustrates that there is some optimum level of taxation which
maximizes government revenue, while still leaving significant wealth for
individuals. Furthermore -- any society requires a class of managers,
supervisors and bureaucrats who have some training and resources. Those
classes represent a constant source of challenges to the elite
ulers -- and they may take nearly complete control of a society,
especially if they are also landowners and are able to force a
Republican or plutocratic governmental structure.
Rule by "quislings" is especially ineffective, because the subjects want
to overthrow the ruler as soon as the traitorous relationship is
exposed. There is a limit to the amount of tribute (taxation or war
reparations) that can be extracted by this means. Also, from time to
time, the machinations of the secret society are exposed and become
generally known. Then the society must submerge politically, and may
suffer significant losses of assets. If a society preserves Republican
or Democratic formalisms, then there is a limit to the amount of lies
that can be fed to the people -- eventually the formalisms break down
and are replaced by overt dictatorship.
History has seen many attempts by the New World Order to consolidate its
rule over the whole globe. Time and time again, these attempts have
failed, for the structural reasons I've just listed -- and also because
any such empire inspires resistance in the entire world outside itself.
If the Bush war campaign, now gathering force around Iraq, represents
an attempt to create such a world empire -- it seems quite certain that
the attempt will fail yet again. The only question is how much chaos
will be created in its failure.
